The '''35mm autocannon'''<ref name="Bnet">[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=chopperfiction '''Bungie.net''': ''TYPE-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle "Chopper" '']</ref> is a [[Jiralhanae]] [[weapon]] mounted on the [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper]], which originally used [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]]s mounted on the sides when the vehicle was first designed.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 335''</ref>

==Description==
The 35mm autocannons are the primary offensive asset of [[Jiralhanae]] [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper]]s, and each Chopper is mounted with four linked forward-firing 35mm autocannons. This cannon is surprisingly powerful, and its ammunition is probably a smaller form of the [[Type-25 Brute Shot]] round, fired at a slower rate.

The term "autocannon" is not entirely accurate when referring to the weapon, due to its alien design. However, it is self-loading and fires explosive projectiles larger than 20mm much like its human-made counterparts.{{Ref/Reuse|Bnet}}

==Gameplay==
===Tactics===
*The 35mm autocannon uses a very powerful shell, but has a very low rate of fire. 
*The rounds are too slow to take down fast targets, and so it is most effective to lead targets.
*Use this gun on short-medium range.
*Drive forward or stop momentarily, because the guns are forward-mounted on a mobile section of the Chopper.
*Do not attempt to use this gun against multiple targets simultaneously.
*Repeatedly tap the fire button instead of holding it down. This will increase the rate of fire.
*When facing this weapon, effective countering tactics are to:
**Avoid the incoming rounds, which are slow enough
**Prepare an anti vehicle weapon, as the driver may attempt to splatter you.
**Try to attack a Chopper driver with one or more allies: they won't be able to lead and shoot down multiple targets surrounding his/her craft
*The 35mm autocannon can only shoot down one enemy at a time, so don't rush among enemy formations, and don't stay there for too long, for this greatly increases the chances of you being killed.
*Avoid excessive turning while firing, as this will throw off the rounds' trajectory. 
*The autocannons do produce some kickback, so when you are trying to pull off some move that requires lots of mobility, you are advised to stop firing.
